President Donald Trump repeated his desire to have Canada join the United States in an interview with Laura Ingraham on Tuesday.

“Canada was meant to be the 51st state,” he said. “We subsidize Canada by over $200 billion a year. We don’t need their lumber, we don’t need their energy, we don’t need anything. We certainly don’t want their automobiles. Millions of automobiles are sent in. I’d rather have them made in Michigan.”
